Native Traaa It is not easy to change an old belief of many New Zealanders that native trees arc slow growers. However. the success of various wellplanned plantings of native trees it helping to spread the truth about their remarkable response to proper treatment. For example. Captain E. V. Sanderson has established a strong growth of about 70 species of native trees on a half-acre section at I'aekakariki, Wellington. A dreary stretch of sand-dunes, covered with lupin, exposed to strong winds from Ihe sea has been changed into a delightful young forest, where one may enjoy that bush scent which warms the heart of nature-lovers. Chines* Children Fund With 110 12s raised, the appeal made by the Mayor of Cambridge, Mr Edgar James, for donations to a fund to assist destitute Chinese children lias been closed. The result is satisfactory when it is considered that the Cambridge Red cross raised £22 5s 6d as a result of a canvass among Ue members.
